Multiple Output Issue with Superior Drummer in Sonar X2

When I route kit pieces to more than one output in Superior Drummer, Sonar frequently starts making "ffft" sounds (not exactly sure what to call them) in time with the drums on the tracks the additional outputs are routed to. The only way I've figured out to get it to stop is to deselect and then reselect that SD output as the track's input, though this doesn't even work 100% of the time. Increasing the buffer size has no effect. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

    Hi Ben

    I'm not certain, but what you might be hearing is the 'bleed' output from some of the kit microphones.

    Try opening the Superior Drummer mixer and see if you can track down which channel(s) the 'sizzle' is coming from.

    Hi, Steve. Thanks for the reply. No, this is definitely not bleed. It's more along the lines of fuzzy distortion.

    Bump. 

    Any other Superior Drummer users out there encounter this? Anyone find a resolution?

    Okay, I've determined the pattern. The fuzzy distortion begins on playback after I've done an audio export. Can anyone else confirm this?

    Here's the routing:

    SD2 - All kit pieces except snare routed to output 1/2. Snare routed to output 3/4.

    Sonar - Midi track routed to SD2. One audio track with input receiving SD2 output 1/2 and another audio track with input receiving SD2 output 3/4.

    Additionally, if it matters, I'm running and exporting at 48/24. 

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can confirm they do or don't experience this same behavior.
